The 4th episode focuses on making nose blocks with adjustable thrust plates. Thx to the late, great Jerry Paisley of the DC Maxecuters for first showing me this method in the early 1990s.
Filmed with a Canon PowerShot SX20-IS & iPhone 11 Pro. Music via motionarray.com.

Plan for the 1931 Babcock Taubman LC-13 seen in this episode is available for download. I’ve drawn a detailed plan in the style of our late mentor, Dave Rees, the originator of the 'squeaky tight' nose block. The full-sized plan with documentation packet is print ready at 34.5” x 48”. My plan was printed on blue-print paper via Staples, but any other group with the printing resources should be able to accommodate.
